What appears to be the very first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home has leaked online, sending Sony and presumably Kevin Feige into a frenzy as they desperately try to scrub it from the internet.
After what was supposed to be a year-long break between Spider-Man: Far From Home and Black Widow, Marvel was always going to be spinning a lot of MCU plates. However, throw an unforeseen additional year into the mix thanks to the pandemic, and everything Disney, Marvel, and Sony had planned has now been forcibly squashed into a much smaller timeframe.
Since everything in the MCU is intricately connected, certain details about what's next can't be revealed until other movies and shows have already launched. That's why despite its release date now being less than four months away, we still don't have a trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Well, not officially. What appears to be the real thing has leaked online, and despite the poor quality, it's easy to see why Marvel and Sony didn't want it getting out early.

The leak takes the form of someone recording the trailer on their phone while it is being shown on another phone, complete with what is apparently a VFX artist's watermark according to The Hollywood Reporter. While we won't be sharing the trailer here in any way, if you do want to wait until the real thing is officially released online then you might want to look away now. Major spoilers lie dead ahead. You also might want to mute some Spidey words on Twitter if you're worried about leaks.
At the very end of Far From Home, the world discovers Spider-Man's true identity. A large chunk of the start of the trailer shows Peter talking to MJ about that. Dr. Strange will also play a major part in the movie and is shown as the solution to Peter's very big problem in the leaked trailer. Wong warns Strange not to cast a spell that will help the world forget Peter is Spider-Man, but it seems the sorcerer neglects to heed Wong's warning.
The trailer ends with the first look at Alfred Molina reprising his role as Doctor Octopus. It seems the multiverse is well and truly open for business, and No Way Home could well be the movie that changes the MCU as we know it more than anything else we have seen so far, or anything we will see before now and No Way Home's release. Shang-Chi and Eternals are still to come, not to mention Hawkeye and perhaps even Ms. Marvel, although that seems more likely to be pushed into 2022 at this point.
